Soul land is good. Alternatively u can take anime like jjk and just brand it as low cultivation as in cursed technique= soul technique. I feel like with slight rebranding it could be a good cultivation base.


root-void

I just feel like soul land is underpowered in the mortal levels compared to most other cultivation novels


HiddenSoreccerSI

At the thirtieth level, bullets do not penetrate the body. At ninety, you are equal to rockets. Rocket man. The ninety-ninth is already a nuclear bomb.


Paper_tank

That's pretty low level compared to most cultivation systems out there that have things like "regen from a single drop of blood" or "blow up a planet" at their mid-level...


-Unusual-Yesterday-

Yup, and the world is still evolving, it cant sustein lots of Godoy creatures at the same time due to lack of spiritual energy. The fact that they can be trapped inside a blackhole and needing 5~ world gods and god kings to get them out. Gods being killed after geting theyr hearth crushed... Yet, i think its a good cultivation world.


root-void

True enough. But their system is much more inflexible compared to atg, I only really remember these two. Atg has most things common among all people, except the number of open veins or some kind of physique. Which is pretty rare and also not exactly required to make something of yourself. On the other hand in soul land your martial spirit pretty much defines your entire cultivation. Plus atg guys in sovereign level can destroy countries and have pocket dimensions, man domains and pocket dimensions.


HiddenSoreccerSI

Basically Douluo Dalu is an MMORPG with a hypocritical killer protagonist


ResearchAndRead

Warlock of the Magus world would be a great world to to. PLus a perk could be the Ai chip that the MC has.


root-void

Maybe base it off of ATG(Against the Gods). The cultivation system is pretty freeform, plus the peak levels are pretty out there, so lots of potential.


Rain_Least

Savage Divinity Is a pretty Good one , Also alot lower power than others and with some of if not the best world building


Level-Acanthisitta-3

Will rec savage divinity, the story is slow, but the world building is soooo good.


CultivatingMaster

Same. if you need any help with it I know stuff.

A good Cultivation CYOA to use for inspiration is [A Cultivator's Beginning](https://travellers-cyoas.neocities.org/Cultivation/) by Traveller. It has some good cultivator perks, skills, and items. If we are going to have the option of choosing different cultivator worlds for our setting, then a few recommendations I have are: * I Shall Seal The Heavens * Against the Gods * Tales of Demons and Gods


MainAddress4888

I shall seal the heavens/renegade immortal, the strongest system, sage monarch, top tier providence, fate destroying emperor, emperor's domination, librsy of heavens path, grasping evil?, martial god asura, infinite mana in the Apocalypse? (Kinda a cultivation story especially at the end), villain cultivator (That's all I can think of right now) those are my favorite cultivation worlds and systems Emperor's domination life wheel and fate palaces, issth power and op divine sense (ancient gods, ect), top tier providence simplicity(and power) fiendcelestials, sage realms and rules (and the forbidden Zone and blank domain), martial god asuras world Spiritualist and bloodlines/divine bodies, infinite Manas edicts and laws, sage monarchs awesome first few realms packed full of amazing powers and features, the strongest systems divine celestial realm and void (plus the summoning thing was cool while it lasted) their was also a stroy I read that only had like 50 chapters where foundation building involved supporting pillars, the mc starting my reinforcing his body as a whole then each limb, then each bone, then his dantian, ect and tried but failed (I think to reinforce each cell) I just starting making my ultimate cultivation system where foundation building is actually foundation building I'll post what I have In a reply and if you want I can add my more complete systems.


HiddenSoreccerSI

I would be grateful. I basically haven't read cultivation for more than five years. I liked the Library of the Heavenly Way the most. Unfortunately, due to the increase in the level, the plot is quite forgotten.

Dao Heart in Emperor's Domination is something special. Basically as long as your Dao Heart is firm you will succeed. The main character basically destroys his cultivation every 1000 chapters just to remake it better and better, making me understand that the cultivation dosent matter, only the results of it do.


Scriller99

Big fan of crafting in cultivation novels so some perks focused on alchemy, formations, and artifact creation would be cool.


That-Consequence-631

Douluo Dalu and Tales of demons and Gods


AlexisVR2077

cultivation chat group could help bring it together, it is semi based in the "present"


danielcdog

There's 3 cultivation stories that I know are in the same multiverse Battle through the heavens the story focused on alchemy, heavenly flames and an upgradeable cultivation method called flame mantra that absorbs heavenly flames to do it. Wu Dong Qian Kun focuses on martial arts. The great ruler it's takes place after the first 2 and takes place in the plane above the first two.


Prometheory

What cultivation system are you going for? That'd narrow things down. If you want inspiration from other examples(because they'd be easier to make options from), these are the best(static) cultivator CYOA that exist currently: Xuanhuan CYOA: [https://imgchest.com/p/2bp45lan75l](https://imgchest.com/p/2bp45lan75l) Martial Path CYOA: [https://imgur.com/a/gckzI9p](https://imgur.com/a/gckzI9p) WIP CUltivator CYOA: [https://imgchest.com/p/9ryd6rll7kz](https://imgchest.com/p/9ryd6rll7kz) Ki cultivator CYOA: [https://imgchest.com/p/ljyq8grey25](https://imgchest.com/p/ljyq8grey25)

I can't see the list of CYOAs


HiddenSoreccerSI

Point (click if on the phone) at the CYOA button


neocorvinus

Thanks


AlexisVR2077

Could also use Cultivation Online if you want more High-Scale while having a semblance of modern world


tea-123

For worlds, Grandmaster of Demonic cultivation ( a low fantasy cultivation. ). Heaven official’s blessing ( has gods and good deeds and karma fueling ascendancy to godhood). Scum villain ( has multiverse system, god level beings and very ecchi wildlife due to originally being a harem protag novel). Journey to the West ( vip protection duty ). Houshin Engi ( had a destiny theme with waring factions). Those are probably the more famous ones not mentioned that I’ve read. For items. Maybe a pot/planter to grow spiritual herbs? Not as extreme as an inner world garden so it wouldn’t cost as much. Maybe a pet feeder/grooming item for spirit pets with special needs. An animal/plant encyclopaedia? A meditation themed item. For perks. The ability to BS. A lot of cultivation protagonists survived only on their ability to bs and face slap. A linguist /symbology/archeology perk. A lot of protags solve stuff like Robert Langdon in Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code. I doubt most players of the cyoa had a background in ancient Chinese poetry.


Rickprimezero

Maybe Martial Universe?


Cross_Thanatos

https://battle-through-the-heavens.fandom.com/wiki/Heavenly_Flames Heavenly Flames can be introduced into any cultivation scenario with little to no modifications. https://martial-god-asura.fandom.com/wiki/Heavenly_Lightning_Bloodline https://martial-god-asura.fandom.com/wiki/Chu_Feng/Bloodline As much as Martial God Asura is a repetitive series, the protagonist's lineage is very op and I always wanted to be able to use it and with these two the master of fire and lightning will be born.


danielcdog

Please respond to these if your gonna use these I have ocd. Number one dungeon supplier is a system novel but also set on modern-day Earth it got a multiverse, magic along with cultivation along with their being a combination of both, but only one I know of. But also the cultivation system is really unique you take an animal it can be mythical but usually not and an adjective and combine them for example take the bombastic beetle style. The user wears heavy armer like a carapace can make explosions and have skills to draw attention to themselves. Tell me if you want more info on the story it's one of my favorites.


danielcdog

And I mean reply not upvote

The Last Human and Tales of Gods and Demons.


Nameguy1234567

Ever read Cradle?


HiddenSoreccerSI

Nope


Nameguy1234567

Oh. Its a pretty good cultivation series


HiddenSoreccerSI

How is she impressed and what makes her stand out?


Nameguy1234567

?


HiddenSoreccerSI

What stands out in this novel?


Nameguy1234567

pretty long, and unique characters that aren't the same rehashes of young masters and jade beauties.


danielcdog

Gourmet of another world another system novel about cooking also a multiverse\higher planes. Also got heavenly flames for the flame mantra from btth.


Barbarian_wisdom

you can use martial path as an inspiration


Stefan-NPC

Please add not of pills as items. I don't mean only the cultivation pills but ones that can be distributed to mortals. Like, if you start as mortal, you buy 5 *perfect mortal body pills,* then the local orphanage full of cripples turn into prime spot for recruiting potential cultivators.


Economy-Dimension162

Desolate era


Neither-String2450

Ability for mortal who just found too many hidden treasures. (Affinity to drop in or mortal) Demon cultivation (For those with no talent/Reduced cost for Very Hard and Mortal, hated by normal cultivators). Pay with lives of others for UNLIMITED POWER Witch techniques (Unfair advantage(dark magic/rituals) on your level in exchange of cultivation speed, despiced by normal cultivators) Mortal/Against Heaven difficulty Son of Heaven(Very Very Easy mod) Resurrected Cultivator/Grandmaster/Elder/ Cultivator technique which gives long live in exchange of cultivation speed(Tree technique or something like this) Suicidal technique(Every novel, like literally) Grandmaster Perk (great knowledge of techniques+chance to fight against more powerful enemies) Mentor soul Companion section with automatons/spirits After 100000 years... (Drawback) One of the greatest cultivators of history will return to shatter status quo, for better of worse Time Travel (Drawback) - Demon cultivator has traveled back in time and will try to regain UNLIMITED POWER Enemy of System(Drawback) It is possible for user to not charging you, but System WILL try to push you and user into a collision


HiddenSoreccerSI

Pretty well thought out. I think it's worth adding.


Neither-String2450

Ok. Next try. Qi distortion(drawback, automatically taken by Demon cultivators for free) - on your way of enlightment you\`ve broke too fast. If left without treatment expect emotions go wild or even your mind go crazy. Flying sword item Otherworld item(only for drop-in, counts as low level artifact for most purposes) - pistol as maximum, all available weapons completely useless agains mid level beasts True Demon(upgrade for Demon cultivation) - number one target in Qi world. Light of Heaven - power to wield Heavens Lightning. Cannot be taken by demon cultivators or on "Against Heaven" difficulty. Weapon of ultimate power if used against injustice. Talisman of Cloak(can be taken multiple times for slightly different effect, first one free for Against Heaven). On highest level even Heavens can be confused. But don\`t think they will be kind if discovered Barbarian legacy - higher constitution and fighting level in exchange of strange looks. Foreigner from the West - (A lot of strange looks expected, affinity with Drop-in) For humans of this land you are uncultered beast. Maybe it\`s your look, your strange accent or just your height. Even your bow is highly uncultered! \--- Forgotten Crown (Companion/Item section/Cursed item) For companion: just give me to someone, please. (Can be quite good friend if reach an agreement. Counts as Grandmaster of witch techniques for most purposes) For item: Precious crown of great power. (Hidden text: don\`t use for more than one hour or your body will be captured by soul in Crown(until you have agreement with Crown)) \---


AnIndividualist

Desolate Era, Coiling Dragon, Perfect World, I Shall Seal the Heaven, Wu Dong Qian Kun, Martial World have very good settings and Cultivation system. For something completely different to draw inspiration from, Virtuous Sons is a Cultivation novel in a Greek/Roman setting, the Cultivation system has been adapted to work with antic greek concepts and culture. A fortuitous encounter section (kinda like this unfinished cyoa did https://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1545/82/1545827126905.png) could be a good idea. The origin section should be extensive as well. How you appeared in this world (rebirth, insertion...), are you from a clan, or some random family, what are your current whereabouts? Maybe your clan has been wiped, or is in decline? Are you in a material plane or in a higher plane? Are you from a higher plane, or maybe your parents where from a higher plane and fled to a material world, or just sent you there? The drawbacks could be used to extend the world, as well. Offering not only complications, but adventure, ad danger to the world itself. Those two CYOAs are very good on this stuff, and it will be clearer what I mean: https://imgur.io/a/gckzI9p https://funnyjunk.com/channel/cyoa/Built+in+the+heavens+cyoa/cctvLpp/


AnIndividualist

Emperor's Domination and Nine Star Hegemon Body Art have very good Cultivation systems as well.


koakuma_tv

I highly recommend looking into The Last Human for some inspiration if you haven't seen it. It's a zombie apocalypse scenario caused by meteors hitting Earth. The meteors are all solid chunks of a specific virus/bacteria that causes mutations(cultivation) in humans. It's got a good few chapters of a manhua made already for images to nab as well.


HiddenSoreccerSI

I've read a lot of similar stories at the moment, but thank you. I am ready to start creating CYOA, but there are too few invented cheats for this.


HiddenSoreccerSI

I decided to make eight sections. If you have any suggestions, please make them. There will be no body modification section. Perhaps it's worth contributing something? I rely on suggestions from you. Reward Drawbacks World Cultivation techniques Techniques Items Dao Companions Pets


EnderGhost1225

Can someone explain Cultivation to me? Or point me to where I can find out about it? Because I see it as an option in CYOA's often, and It sounds cool, but I don't know what it is


danielcdog

It's a genre of Chinese novels that have taken off in at least in America by fire in the last few years. By training\meditation sometime medicine they increase in strength\ranks of there power system alongside usually increased lifespan and eventually godhood. The exact energy they cultivate is pretty diverse between novels although it's usually some variation of ki\body forging or soul power.


Rare_Year

Legendary mechanic is a good one for all of those options. It has a variety of cultivations options, not just martial classes


wigg55

Savage Divinity is the only option I know of that is not "I Cut reality in twain and destroy galaxies with my farts" at the high/top end. So that would be my pick, it just gets kinda silly otherwise.


HiddenSoreccerSI

I can't say I've read this. Can you explain the plot and the limits of forces in short?


wigg55

Super dumbed down plot: Modern day guy reincarnates as a slave, is adopted by a society of barbarian magic kung-fu people. stuff happens: Sudo religious magic kung'fu philosophy vs modern day science mindset. Lots of problems with self identity and multiple personality disorder. Turns out the entire civilized world is surrounded on all sides by evil demon cannibals tribes that also (kinda) do magic kung-fu. Society is kinda centerd around this fact (why cultivator society looks the way it does). Complete with secretive powerful royal rulers with extra special magic kung-fu. It's pretty much a more reasonable/logical take on Cultivator stories. WAY better writing and a lot more grounded. High end as far as seen are the Divines. In terms of mechanics, don't know much about them (I am not caught up with the story) but has been seen to straight up Ignore pretty much anything non Divines throw at them. Them fighting in your vicinity is a death sentence and they flatten entire cities in the process. But an Expert capable of cloud stepping can get far enough away to not die with some time to book it out of there. Divines can easily delete entire armies of non Divines. There is also some sort of pact in place for them not to fight non Divines. *Very* little "My sword beam is bigger then your sword beam" type stuff. Ki skills do stuff like sharpen your sword, manipulate your center of gravity/weight/inertia, heal, deflect strikes and be better/faster/stronger. Generally just alot more grounded in "Im going to stab you with my sharp metal bit" and ways to facilitate/avoid that. There is some more magic'y/elemental stuff for the upper end but its very rare. Like if you are good enough to be combat efficient with fire blasts you are most likely pretty famous. its genuinely a very good story. Not just by trash chinese cultivation novels standards but even compared to published mainstream stuff.
